Bitch, Make Your Own Yard!

What the Heck!

What have we been up to...???

Makin a Yard!

Bought a House!  ✔️

See that big holly bush at the side of the house...

& Charli Girl! She loves havin a yard, so we kinda had to Make one!

Get it Gone!

As soon as the ground was soft enough!

Chopped it & Dug out all the Stumps!

OY! Stumps!!!

Take stock of whatever this branch-fest is doing ✔️

Find somewhere else for them to be!

✔️

We tossed them in the back yard where we could still get at them for burnin or craftin!

Bask with Coffee!

And a fire pit using some of those branches ;-D

Use a branch or two for the decorating!

✔️

Discover that you have about 2,000 square feet of open space under all that mess! 

YISSSSSSSSS!

Let's re-cap a lil...

Awwww... Holly Bush.

Awwwwww yeah... No holly bush! 

Oh YEAH...

The basketball hoop...

We don't have time to figure out how to get all of those rusty bolts apart to take the backboard down...

So...

Boom.

MAKE IT PURDY! 

Gathered some Friends n Family! 

✔️✔️

Get some food!!!

Now...

We Get Some Rest!

We make some crazy goals around here!

Look for us on the social webs... ;-)

The Keys To Happiness!

The keys to happiness?

Is it...

Having many projects...?

Closet organizing...

Unpacking the office...

Addressing the landscaping issues...

Getting rid of the holly bush!

With a little help from a friend!!!

The branch bank?

Which was a lot larger than I expected...

Charlie rolling in the dirt...

And sunning herself...

Finding uses for the branches?

Porch breaks stealing moments with the dog?

The view of the full moon from the bedroom...

Iced coffee on the porch...

Finding even more projects/things to make with branches...!?!?

Maybe it's really all about keys???

Twine & a branch! 

Tie it all up!

Key ring! 

Windchimes!

Oooooooooooo...

Ahhhhhhhhhh...

Tweaking...

Flourish!

Still so many left!

All of these things add up 

To a great recipe for happiness :-D

Now to decide where to hang them!

Follow your bliss,

Steal Some Moments,

Find some Happy!

MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO

Gold Rush! Very Metal Decor! \m/

Total obsession!

GOLD!

All shades rose, yellow, white....  I want to put it everywhere!!!

My Pinterest board has been growing for over a year now!

Love how it pairs with White...

And Black & White! 

Over last summer I ransacked the house and found things to give the Midas touch to...

Push Pins & Tacks to help with my desky makeovers (the bane of my existance...)

Our office is still (a mess) work in progress ;-D

This will get us outta that rut! ;-)

Awwww... I miss my painting station...

The Console above became our Drink Cart, & that part of our porch is now very lounge-tastic!

Quack, quack.

Shell is now a wee candle holder...

A lil no-tape fade action on that ceramic pot...

LOVE THE KRYLON METALLIC BRASS & GOLD SPRAYS!!!!!!!!!

And the Fridge Magnets! 

I experimented with keeping some white...

Nah!

Paint ALL THE MAGNETS!!!

BOOM!

A studded fridge look! 

YISSSSSSSSS!

These Vases are just dying for some flowers, feathers, twigs, Painted Twigs, or even PENS!!!

Flora in the real & faux...

Holder of the mighty incense. 

This tray is having a serious moment in our lav. 

Paper Flower & Feathers...

Ye olde paint box. Painted & Pretty, in the corner of my Studio. :-)

See how plain these objects were before....  

BUT!

If you're not into spray painting every other thing you own to scratch a design itch... 

Target, IKEA, TJ MAXX, etc.... 

(my wedding rings ^^)

These lil dishes do the trick! 

Thanks TJ MAXX! :-D

Or if you do crave that Slightly Metallic...  Sweet Aromatic Perfume...

Of Spray Painting Everything in Sight...

And you don't want to change your current possessions...

Get yourself to the Good Will, Salvation Army, Hospice Shop, Survival Center...

Flea Market, Tag/Garage/Boot Sale...  Friend/Family's Basement...  Craigslist- CURB ALERT!!!

Find some objects to Slap some Gold on!

And if Home Accessories aren't fully scratching that itch...

Nails Anyone! :-) Rose Gold... Mmmm...

Make your own... Mmmmm.... :-D

Get out your old stuff!

Get out the Spray Paint! 

Make things Interesting!

MAKE SOMETHING!!!!

XOXO
